I would build just about anything Ferrari from this era, street or track.

Turned out great A6M5! And I agree about wanting more planes. I have no idea where I’ll put them, as I honestly don’t have the space. I do enjoy building them though.

Same

I really regret not picking this one up when it was available

Thanks for the update Mark. I was wondering what happened to it. And good luck!

I think you’re right Eagle. Definitely a Ferrari

When it’s a stingray

I see they’ve announced some 1/48 scale Ferraris. I honestly have no interest in those. However, now that, presumably, the licenses are sorted, or at least a relationship is in place Ferrari, if any of them were to become highly detailed 1/8 scale kits, I would definitely be interested. I already have the F40 and 250 GTO, but any others would go on my list.

Morris Marina?

Any updates?

Hmmmm, I hope not lol

Looking good Eagle! I’ve been trying to force myself to finish the two models already in progress on my desk, before allowing myself to start assembling the 917 parts I’ve been collecting, and seeing how awesome this looks is making it difficult.

Hi All, Just wanted to share my build with everyone. This is my first part work airplane, and I must say, so far I am pretty pleased. I've noticed a few minor shortcomings, but overall, the detail and production quality of this kit has been excellent. It allows me to focus on sprucing things up, and not fiddling with ill-fitting parts or poorly executed details that require modification. I'm still trying to decide how weathered I want this model to be, but ultimately, "at least slightly weathered" is the answer. I've been assembling model kits for over 30 years, but weathering is still a bit of a new skill. Anyways, in my typical fashion, I refer to lots of various reference photos. I aim for accuracy, but do so loosely. I realize that 99 out of 100 viewers will never notice most inaccuracies, so as long as it looks good to me, then it's good enough. The engine was a joy to build. The only real issue required a bit of trimming of the 008-06 parts. Some of the exhaust pipes are a tad short, but most casual viewers wouldn't notice. I ended up completely repainting the exhaust pipes, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Here are the exhaust pipes, pretty much stock. In these photos I have added a bit of wash. Here is the first repainted pipe, next to the originals. You can see in this view how some of the pipes are a bit short. And with all the pipes repainted. The next area requiring a bit of sprucing up is the cockpit. It's still a WIP, and I'll save that for my next post. Until then, here's sneak peak, and some of the rest of my progress with some parts test fitted.

Any more clues?

Thanks Chuck. Sounds like I’ll be taking a few pieces off for access later tonight. I’ll try to get some pics up at some point
